http://robots.net/person/pyschodrake/diary.html?start=0There are many problems with having no human interaction in
firing a weapon. One of the largest is if someone is smart,
they can hack these robots and have them turn on those they
are supposed to be guarding. Another problem is that under
certain conditions, passwords can be garbled to robot but
clear to a human. And third problem is that humans have
this funny thing called intution that allows us to judge the
intent of a person, a robot can not do this.
The idea of having robots on border guard is pretty smart;
as long as they are armed with non-lethal weapons only. Use
rubber bullets, tear gas, tranquilizers, mono directional
white noise generators, etc. instead of bullets. Doing this
would be just as effective as arming the robot with a gun.
